My Pickled Jalapeno Peppers recipe    • How to make Pickled Jalapeno Peppers ...  

Here's the chicken seasoning blend recipe for 2 pounds of chicken drumsticks (chicken legs)

1 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 teaspoon of lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

6 chicken legs
chicken seasoning blend
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1/4 cup of barbecue sauce
1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
2 scallions, chopped

I butterflied 6 chicken drumsticks and seasoned them with the chicken seasoning blend above.

Add oil and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. You can cook them right away if you want to but I like to let the seasonings soak in.

Set your Ninja Foodi XL PRO GRILL temperature to high and time 12 minutes. (You can make these on other indoor or outdoor grills by adjusting the time and temperature.)

After your grill preheats cook the butterflied chicken drumsticks turning halfway through cooking.

After 10 minutes brush both sides with sauce and cook for the remaining 2 minutes. Check your chicken's internal temperature to ensure it has reached 165 degrees.

Top the chicken with pickled jalapeños and scallions.
